Review of "Cry of the Innocent" - a murder mysery set in the early days of the American Revolution
One morning she discovers a dead body in her private meeting room. Suspicion lands on a young slave girl but then more bodies are found.
The author creates a very believable heroine and is extremely good at world building. Things like slavery, the recapture of freed slaves, addiction, having to marry rich it all plays a role. The solving of the crime is a complicated story.
There are two small faults: I believe in two cases the story has a small "deleted part" as someone is shot and another engaged without it being mentioned prior. Or I must have missed that.
I am certainly going to recommend this book on my blog and in my bookclub on Facebook.
This is a Dutch booktalk about this novel:
